Beijing was transformed into a walled city by the Ming dynasty, particularly under the reign of Emperor Yongle, who ruled from 1402 to 1424. He was also responsible for significant expansions of the Grand Canal, enhancing its capacity to facilitate transport and trade between northern and southern China. Yongle's ambitious projects solidified Beijing's role as the political and cultural center of China.
